So close, yet so far...

Hostel: Part III could be so named for the three main points that set
it apart from its predecessors.

One: the departure from Slovakia to Vegas. Ultimately, this turns out
to be a good decision. Bringing the chaos closer to home (for us
Americans) adds an effective layer of chill and gives us something
fresh and new to work with, as opposed to churning out what could have
been basically a remake of the original film. At times the nostalgia of
the foreign setting was missed, but ultimately I accept it as a wise
choice.

Two: Roth is out, Spiegel is in. The change in direction is noticed
heavily, and in the end I was disappointed and left wishing Eli Roth
had never given up the reigns.

Three: Straight to DVD. This, also, was a change that was noticed for
all the wrong reasons.

The film kicks off with a highly interesting opening scene with a twist
in which our expectations are squashed and it is established that we
are working with a totally new style of villain. We see that the Elite
Hunting Club has progressed into something much more advanced than just
a pay-to-kill deal, and while a little over-the-top, I enjoyed the new
additions to the game. During the climax we are fed table-turning twist
that had my heart pumping with excitement. Sadly, however, here is
where my praise ends.

The torture scenes are terrible. They are all bad ideas executed very
poorly. Furthermore, they are over within seconds and contain almost no
gore compared to the first two (an OBVIOUS reference to the lack of
budget). The cinematography is dead on arrival. Don't expect the dark
and gritty look that is required for this type of film, but instead
look forward to distracting brightness and elegance. And finally, the
acting (spare one or two) is the worst of the series.

Overall, I give it a painfully mediocre rating of 5/10. I do, however,
definitely recommend you to see it if you liked the first two. Just go
into it with low expectations so you will not be let down, and look out
for the unique routes the story takes instead of the torture sequences.
These fresh twists and turns are bittersweet, though, because it
showcases the fact that the film could have been a big success had the
necessary efforts been put into it. Hostel: Part III will forever be
known to me as the little film that could... but didn't.

What a shame to "Hostel" franchise !!!

I watched this movie and kept thinking WTF was wrong with the writers/editors/and even Director.... This was undeniably the worst movie out of three. Hostel franchise has carved a niche among a certain class of movie-goers and this one is definitely a Slap on all of our faces.

Ridiculous story, poor cast, awful acting, funny CGI, cheap grade torture/execution and the list is on and on.. What is "NEW" in this installment is the "camera move" during torture... It literally moves towards the "Wall" and all we can see is the blood splashing out.

C'mon, is this for real. Looks like the new director simply never watched the previous movies and literally decided to direct one for his 6-7 years old kids..

My advice: Save your penny and don't even think about renting it. You will get furious and eventually end up breaking up the DVD, which will later cost you more... ;)
